[Fists] Time Magazine

[Fred Adsit]

Same response here. Also, our electricity is flipping on and off every few 
seconds, and a guy is almost here after a day of this to replace the outside 
breaker box. Needless to say many email operations here have been bombed 
even though I use an APC box to assure, within reason, that nothing gets 
lost when the power goes off. Anyway....

>From what I can tell, interest may be increasing, rather than flagging, 
since this latest FCC pronouncement. Perhaps, just perhaps, the lack of a 
Requirement will encourage many to give Morse Code a try. I pray it does, 
because we need young folks, and even middle-aged folks, to help keep the 
mode alive.

That Time article didn't say much, really (unless I need to read it several 
times), but I'll thank them for bringing up the subject, if their email 
server ever empties long enough to take some new msgs.
